Quick Reference
The CARES Act of 2020 made over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and drugs, including products like Sudafed, eligible for reimbursement through HSAs, FSAs, and HRAs without the need for a prescription. This means you can use your health spending account funds to purchase Sudafed to treat common ailments.
